  • Ever since our trip to Lisbon on a tallship we've wanted to have a go at sailing. When we saw that Sail Birmingham we're offering free sessions for disabled people we got in touch straight away. A few days later and we were on the water and it was fun! Especially the fast bits and even the 'zig zagging' (the boat turns super quickly!). Big thanks to @midlandsailing / @sailbirmingham for the opportunity. We're very grateful for the tailored approach to getting us on the water. @theyestribe @shadyrays @nationaloutdoorexpo #AdventuresWithSightloss
  • He did it! At just after 8pm this evening @jcchurcher became the first blind person to climb the classic #commandoridge / #bosigranridge . Graded a VD but with lots of exposure and awkward down climbs. John lead the whole thing, quite a challenging route for those with sightloss with most of the route completely out of site from the belay stances. John was on his own on this one! Epic climbing! @talkingheadsetsltd @bootbananas @theyestribe @alpkit @beargrylls
  • Tomorrow’s project! #commandoridge
  • @budeseapool is a great place to visit (when the tide is out). When the tide comes in, it gets covered by the sea (and the water freshened up!)! Video shows Lauren jumping in the pool with a wetsuit and swim hat on, making a big splash. #dryrobeterritory @dryrobe #adventureswithsightloss @wyattandjack @revo
  • Day 1 of our holiday/road trip! Climbing at Symonds Yat. A few easy V-Diff leads for John. He’s ready to start moving into HS/VS and probably higher but sometimes those routes need you to be quick and efficient and finding and placing gear. Not easy when you can’t see them. Today’s climbs were all about honing those skills! 🧗‍♂️ 💪 John did manage to accidentally drop a set of nuts which Lauren managed to catch giving her a bruise to the thumb 😲 we spent the evening driving down to the location to of today’s adventure! Bodyboarding in bude! 🏄‍♂️ 🌊 #AdventuresWithSightloss
  • Here's a video we didn't get around to posting/forgot about from Dosthill Quarry! A popular swimming spot for us near Tamworth. Dosthill was the first place we paid to swim at, and we've not been again. It wasn't that it wasn't lovely (it's really nice and very clean), but a bit of the magic felt lost. We still had a great time, but it's just not the same. #AdventuresWithSightloss #SayYesMore #WildSwim #wildswimming
  • 45 miles on the tandem yesterday! (Not the Santos, but our first Tandem which we now keep as a spare in Norfolk). We went to Great Yarmouth where we enjoyed a cup of tea and a cone of chips before stopping off to visit #BurghCastle and the ruins there. We continued around through St.Olaves and then crossed the river via #reedhamferry . A great ride. We still seem to hit a wall at 40 miles but we’re working on it! @litelokuk
  • Another smashing day on Grit. John lead his first HS on verandah buttress at Stanmage. We also managed a day on sport where we climbed 5a,5b,5c and 6a. Nice! #adventureswithsightloss
  • Please keep a look out for our hedgehog friends before cutting or strimming grass! 🦔 We met ‘Bob’ today out on the grass and we were really excited to meet him. John has never seen a hedgehog in real life before but we quickly realised all was not well with ‘Bob’. A few calls later and we arranged to drop him off at Barrow Hedgehog rescue where we promptly found out he was missing a leg, most likely caused by a strimmer. We later heard the news that the infection had spread into his pelvis and he had be put to sleep. Poor Bob. Please please keep an eye out for hedgehogs. They are massively under threat and need everybody to look out for them🦔🦔🦔
  • Today is #internationalfriendshipday 🥳 being best buddies with each other is something worth celebrating! 😁 #adventureswithsightloss
